Empty Spaces

Every single brick we laid To build our cherished homes And every star the eye can catch So far I'll never touch All the pieces we're made of They push and pull all day We're made of empty spaces, dear We spend our lives to fill Sensations I don't try Can't teach me how to feel While each and every cry Means something here is real The times our eyes can touch And make the daylight dim They may not mean that much If we're just clouds of steam Delete my anxiety If something can be Then something will be Remind me that I need to breathe Because I can't cease No I will not cease To be Every single brick we laid To build our cherished homes And every star the eye can catch So far I'll never touch All the pieces we're made of They push and pull all day We're made of empty spaces, dear We spend our lives to fill See, those sparkles, how they glow Like chalk drawings on a stone Lose perspective as they grow Bringing light upon your clones All those versions of you, though Couldn't get where you belong Know the things only you saw You're tangible, so valuable Inside your cone Every single brick we laid To build our cherished homes And every star the eye can catch So far I'll never touch All the pieces we're made of They push and pull all day We're made of empty spaces, dear We spend our lives to fill All the roads I've ever walked The faces that I've worn Now grey and torn The hopes that didn't fly The days of my decline But they're my own
